As AAA devs are redesigning its existing PC games for VR, Rockstar Games’ L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files managed to get into a controversy of able to run on a PC powered by AMD CPU and AMD Radeon graphics. What it means that while you can run this on an Intel/AMD CPU+ Nvidia GPU and Intel CPU+ AMD Radeon graphics card, you cannot do so with the AMD CPU and AMD Graphics card at all.

Just Rockstar games having VR issues???

The reasoning behind such a move is not given, nor its something Rockstar Games will fix. But one would speculate based Nvidia’s branding for the game implies unfair advantage against Radeon card owners. Bethesda’s Fallout 4 VR is redesigned for VR gameplay with no such problems.

Additionally, Rockstar Games say that the game will work with systems only a single graphics cards- Nvidia or AMD Radeon.

The following was mentioned on its page:

Additional System Specifications

Due to current performance issues with AMD hardware, only specific combinations of AMD and NVIDIA/Intel Hardware will allow the game to play as intended:
• If using an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (or above) graphics card is required to play
• If using an AMD Vega 56 graphics card, an Intel i7 6700 (or above) CPU is required to play
• Attempting to use an AMD CPU and GPU together to play the game is not supported at this time

L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files only supports a single graphics card architecture; NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFire features are not supported.

Chance for a fix??

On the other hand, there might be a chance that Rockstar Games may work on it, as they’ve mentioned the following:

Over time programming changes will change the system requirements for this game. Please refer to your hardware manufacturer and www.rockstargames.com/support for current compatibility information. Some system components such as mobile chipsets, integrated, and AGP graphics cards may be incompatible. Unlisted specifications may not be supported by publisher.
